If you're not really going to carry anything, you probably don't need a notch. I would like to see at least 3" of bump travel in the rear suspension; if that requires a notch, I put one in.
Excellent reference + info then & it is still accurate/effective to date.

The 'No Limit' version on the 63-72 C-10 notch looks promising. The info listed in the product description defining limitations is on point. That being said, I do question the comment regarding the addition of it making the modded area stronger though (and I like Rob/No Limit). I could see it doesn't compromise strength like other available c-notches (CPP/POL) but it still has vertical height reduced which is where the strength comes. It definitely is better for the axle tube to make contact w/a bump-stop vs pounding the bottom side of the rail.

I'd like to see more data on the numbers proving (educating us) how it's stronger than a stock rail.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
